— Data aggregation protocols can reduce the cost of communication, thereby extending the lifetime of sensor networks. Prior work on data aggregation protocols has focused on tree...
— We propose a contention based reservation MAC protocol for a collaborative sensing scenario involving a set of surveillance UAVs communicating with a hub. Data transmission rig...
Hop-by-hop data aggregation is a very important technique for reducing the communication overhead and energy expenditure of sensor nodes during the process of data collection in a...
Abstract. We propose a model for communication in single-hop wireless sensor networks and define and evaluate the performance of a robust, energy balanced protocol for a powerful a...
